More and more people each year are discovering how Triking is a fun, easy, emission-free way to keep fit. TerraTrikes offer a great view of the scenery and an immediate relief from the aches and pains of traditional bicycles.

They are great at replacing your car on short trips while laughing at gas prices. They are well respected in traffic due to their curious shape, and they are easy to transport on traditional bike racks or on a TerraTrike specific hitch rack. TerraTrikes have a comfort level and a cool factor that cannot be denied. Treat yourself to a test ride today, and be part of the solution.

Work Stand

I built this work stand from plans that I found on Utah Trike's website and it's one of my most useful accessories. I built it just as described, but I left a couple of joints without glue so the stand can be broken down for transport and storage. Cutting the pipes with a hacksaw was a bit of a workout, but the most challenging part is getting everything glued together right. Unless care is taken you could end up with a crooked stand. I put together sub-assemblies first. Some sections can be squared up by laying them flat on a table. The removable rear part of the stand is an example. Once the glue was dry on the flat sections, then I put the sub-assemblies together to make the stand. Take time and care when assembling to get things straight. I spent a couple of days putting mine together.

Gary,
Got your PM but my forum permissions do not allow me to respond. Sent a couple of messages to the site admin to resolve the issue, but have not received a response. Send another PM with an email address and I will reply.

I made mine out of PVC. I just screwed it together planning on gluing it eventually, but I haven't gotten around to that part yet despite having built the stand before Christmas 2016. It would be sturdier if I glued together, but it works just fine screwed together. It fits the Rover & Traveler both. Here is a link to a good article that shows several commercially available models and several PVC versions as well as plans to make your own. I know Sports Crafter's has a $450 bike-shop model trike stand. Let us know what you end up doing.

I assume TCEd jests about the kitchen table, but, on a similar note, I have found that our picnic table is perfect. Regardless of which side of the trike I need to access, I have a nice bench on which to sit. Of course, my wife requires that, first, I remove the picnic table cover. :-(

Yes, I'm joking. The very few times i need to work on it in a elevated position I place it on top of a workbench in the garage or one of the dog crates downstairs. I just don't want a very seldom used stand taking up space in the garage.

If had the skills, resources, and materials would redo the veranda and have a track rail attached above. That would roll out the Rover to the far end, and allow a controlled pickup & delivery system, with a tilting and sliding ramp that would come out between the top of the steps and flooring.
Then hook that up by remote control for when I come home the hoist will be there waiting and the ramp would slide out to ride on in.
